The City of Kirkland is honoring the Kalakala ferry 80 years after the boat made its maiden voyage from the Lake Washington Shipyards in Kirkland, Washington. The City’s Cultural Arts Commission is hosting a celebration on Friday, July 3, commemorating the exact day the iconic ferry launched from Kirkland, the city of its birth. The celebration will be held at Kirkland’s Marina Park, 25 Lakeshore Plaza Drive, from 7 to 9 p.m. Live music by Miss Rose and Her Rhythm Percolators (1930’s jazz), learn more about the design of Kalakal, share stories about the Art Deco boat and suggest how the City could ruse salvaged pieces. Light refreshments will be served.
